Use this command to select the mode of operation for the paste menu item. The following options are available:

Block Mode

Pastes line by line. Each line is pasted starting at the current cursor column. Pasting continues until the end of the unprotected field. Use this mode when pasting blocks of data into a text editor. (3270 and 5250 sessions only)

Block Mode with Word-Wrap

Works like block mode except it breaks lines of data at a word boundary so that words are not split across lines. Use this mode when pasting blocks of data into a text editor. (3270 and 5250 sessions only)

Overlay Block Mode

Pastes line by line. Each line is pasted starting at the current cursor column and continues until the end of the line. The clipboard line overlays the new line character-for-character filling in all unprotected fields; protected fields are bypassed as are the associated characters on the clipboard. Use this mode when pasting a block that contains data from lines containing multiple fields (for example, a data entry screen). (3270 and 5250 sessions only)

Stream Mode

Pastes character by character into unprotected fields. When a protected field is encountered the paste continues with the next clipboard character in the next unprotected field. When all unprotected fields on a line are filled, pasting moves to the first unprotected field on the next line. Pasting stops when all characters have been pasted or the paste operation reaches the end of the screen. (3270 and 5250 sessions only)

Move Cursor After Paste

Move the cursor to the end of the pasted data after a paste operation instead of leaving it at the original location. (3270 and 5250 sessions only)

Replace Tab with Space

Replaces each tab character with a space when the characters are pasted. (3270 and 5250 sessions only)

Erase EOF After Paste

Issue an Erase EOF command to erase the contents of the field that follows the pasted text. (3270 and 5250 sessions only)
